What To Expect From Your Hormonal Balancing Protocol
-
A thorough case history and intake will provide us with a lot of information about what genetic and lifestyle factors have brought you to where you are today.

Blood work will also paint a picture of what is within range or perhaps outside of an optimal physiological range. We tend to go through this with a fine-tooth comb to make sure everything is not just out of deficiency but within an optimal range - setting you up to thrive.
